Help me review my Common App Essay, please :)

<p>It strikes me as rather mediocre.</p>

<p>I started out writing the "person who has had an influence on you" prompt, but by the latter parts I kind of feel like I'm meandering, and the end seems quite horrible. The whole thing is definitely something that has meaning to me and something that I believe...but I don't know. I'm not entirely pleased with it.</p>

<p>So...who wants to rip it to shreds?! :D</p>

<p>I’ll read it! :slight_smile: I’m in the process of writing my own essays, and goodness knows I’ve looked up enough “How to write a college application essay” articles to help with yours! :)</p>

<p>PM me, i’ll be glad to read it :)</p>
